The game focuses on the characters Ende and Ceres who live in the Elysium kingdom on the continent known as Graecia. Ceres is chosen to sing at the kingdom's harvest festival, but monsters begin to attack when she goes to perform.

Later, they find out that Ceres has been cursed, and in order to lift it, Ende must use the Orichalcum Chain to obtain the flesh of the beasts that live in the tower.[3]

Pandora's Tower was first revealed to be in development by Satoru Iwata at Nintendo's third quarter financial meeting in January 2011.[2] Nintendo later set up an official teaser site with a spring 2011 release date for Japan. The site features a female voice that says, "Dying with beauty, or living with ugliness. Which would you be happier with?" (死んで綺麗になるのと、醜くても生きてるのって どっちが幸せなんだろうね？ Shinde kirei ni naru no to, minikukute mo iki teru no tte. Dotchi ga shiawasena ndarou ne??)[4] On April 5, 2011, the first trailer was released online.[5] Details on the story and characters were published in the April 6, 2011 issue of Famitsu magazine along with the confirmation of Ganbarion as the developer and a Japanese release date of May 26, 2011.[3] The official website was updated to include the new trailer and confirmed release date.
